Zimmer Hip Lawsuit

Filing a Zimmer hip lawsuit can offer financial relief to individuals who have suffered physical and emotional hardships as a result of using a Zimmer hip implant device. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Zimmer Durom Cup for use in March 2006. In 2008, Zimmer suspended sales of the device to investigate reports of hip replacement problems. Three months later, they returned the implant to the market, contending that it was not defective.

Although the company did not issue a recall, some Durom Cup recipients have filed suit in an effort to obtain compensation for physical hardships incurred as a result of the allegedly flawed device.

In response to numerous pending lawsuits, the device manufacturer set aside millions of dollars in a settlement fund in 2010. In 2011, the FDA received more than 5,000 complaints related to all-metal implants, a category that includes the Durom Cup.

Compensation for Zimmer hip side effects

Complications resulting from a Zimmer hip that fails to work as it should may lead to financial, emotional and physical hardships. If you’ve experienced such hardship as a result of using a Zimmer hip device, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical expenses (past, present and future)

Pain and suffering

Lost income and earning capacity

Emotional distress

Loss of enjoyment of life

Adding to the hardship of implant failure for elderly patients in need of revision surgery is the fact that many individuals are on blood thinners for health reasons. These individuals may not be able to receive revision unless they are able to come off the medication. Complications from gastrointestinal and internal bleeding prevent serious obstacles in these cases.
